This one gets specific about cyber GTM mechanics. Mark walks through how a rep turns a public earnings report into a cost per minute and a headcount number, how he coaches it inside one-on-one deal reviews, and why he thinks the relationship-only seller is finished in identity. He also covers his three hiring filters, what a seller sitting on mute for twenty minutes signals to a buyer, and what he's doing with a rep at 200 percent of goal who built his own follow-up automation.
